A parody of burlesque? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spoof

I believe this is a double definition.

'a parody' is the first definition.
('spoof' can be a synonym of 'parody')

'burlesque?' is the second definition.
('spoof' can be a synonym of 'burlesque')

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for spoof that I've seen before include "Parody - hoax" , "Satirical imitation" , "Cod" , "Take-off" , "Parody - prank" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
